Episode 39. Jeff Pitts is a super great guy with a heart for helping others. Today he talks with us about health and fitness, his personal journey from athlete to emotional eater to fitness coach, and why his favorite word is hope.

“Any time I communicate, whether it be in written form or in a speaking form, I want people to walk away and go, ‘That helped me.'”

Episode 38. Winston Simmonds tells us how he started Sand Dune Publishing and why he created the Between Me And You journal series. We also talk about the importance of asking people we care about for their stories, and sharing our own with them.

“We’ve never talked about some of their feelings, some of their dreams, some of their hopes when they were in their twenties or thirties or forties. Or what they think about the relationship that we all share together, questions that sometimes we’ve been meaning to ask but never get around to.”

Update: the Longneckers hit the road in late July 2015. They share their new life on the road in their blog; if you want to see where they’ve been, start here.

Episode 36. Before 2015 is out, Jonathan and Ashley Longnecker plan to sell their house, pack up their four kids, and travel the US full time in an RV. Today they share with us why they decided to hit the road less traveled.

“More than anything, we just want to give our kids some amazing experiences. … We just want to make sure that they have the opportunity to see other people’s perspectives and hear their stories. And help people.”
